Gift Idea for Under $20

December 9, 2014

Do you have that person on your Christmas shopping list that you never know what to get? I’m sharing an idea today that pretty much anyone can enjoy–a spa gift basket. And it doesn’t have to be filled with expensive soaps and lotions, this is a gift idea for under $20!

First you start with an eye catching gift basket. Instead of the traditional wicker basket, I used this super cute chicken wire basket from Better Homes and Gardens at Walmart. I love that it has handles and it can be used by the receiver for so many different things instead of those awkward wicker baskets that I always end up donating. It makes it easy to carry back and forth from the bathroom to the bedroom or whatever. And it’s only $7!

Next I added tons of white gift paper to pad up the bottom. Then I found this cute chevron bath towel (BHG at Walmart-$5) and slid it in the side. On the other side I added a giant thing of bubble bath which was only $2.

I kept adding paper here and there to make the items pop up at different levels. I added in a wonderful ocean-smelling candle (BHG at Walmart, $4) and then a jar of a sugar scrub. This scrub cost about $8 which brings the cost up, BUT you could easily DIY that, make your own sugar scrub in a Mason jar. And finally, I added a $2 loofa!

Basket: $7

Bath Towel: $5

Candle: $5

Bubble Bath: $2

Homemade Sugar Scrub: $0

Loofa: $1

Total Cost: $20!

I gave this gift to my sister who is getting married in a few weeks. I actually altered the gift a bit to make it for TWO people–I added another towel and another sponge. And even adding that still kept the cost under $30. I love Better Homes and Gardens products at Walmart, they are awesome for such a great price!
